5 Important Things You Need to Know About Rain Fade and Your NBN Satellite Connection

10 March 2014

Rain fade is a phenomenon that comes inevitably with an NBN satellite connection and also with satellite TVs. Rain fade refers to the moisture that settles in the air, thus affecting the transmission of data between satellites in space and to the device of the end user based on Earth.
For people connected to the Internet via satellite broadband, here are a few things that you need to know about rain fade and its effect on your satellite connection.

Satellite internet may have its hits and misses, but it is a reliable way to stay connected, especially if you are in the rural areas and fibre and fixed wireless broadband are not available.
The interim satellite service may have reached its capacity, but better, faster and more stable internet speeds will come your way this coming 2015 as the NBN Co commences with the launch of their long-term satellite service. By then, make it a point to choose Activ8me NBN satellite for registration.
